protecting, defending our country and we're doing well. what we need, we need just this support now. otherwise it will be too late. by the way, for the americans to say all the numbers and finances that have been spent in europe -- i'm sorry in ukraine in this case, 90% is remaining here in the united states. new jobs being created, it stimulates the u.s. economy and the weapons, old weapons that you don't need give it to us. use your own arsenal of weapons. you can do it. you must do it anyway. just give us the tools to protect our lives. >> dana: you are a goodwill ambassador and i would always want you on my side. thank you and we'll follow this story as it goes along. your support.for having me and >> dana: high stakes showdown

over tiktok taking place now. the house voting on a bill to force the chinese owner to sell the app or be banned in the united states. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. always a quick turn around. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning at home. some lawmakers say the chinese-based company is a threat to national security. others say tiktok ban would limit free speech online. that bipartisan bill expected to pass but faces an uncertain future once it hits the senate. jim jordan on stand by. chad pergram has the news live from the hill. hello to you. >> they're coming to the closing moments of this debate. one vote coming up in this series taking about 20, 25 minutes here but they believe they have the votes to pass this bill. it will take a 2/three vote. if all 432 members of the house vote that will be 288. but they expect to be well alove that threshold. look to see, though, if some of the concern that former president trump has expressed

suppresses the gop vote and this bill faces an unsure footing in the united states senate. the senate majority leader chuck schumer indicated yesterday he was unsure about whether or not he would put this on the floor. saying he needs to talk to his committee chairs. it should pass the house on a bipartisan vote sometime within the next hour. bill. >> bill: okay, chad. we're watching this here. based on the numbers right now it's around 280 based on the composition of the house. >> it will always depend on how many people cast ballots. a few absences here and why i show you. i have this chart i keep with me every time we have a vote that requires 2/three it tells me what the threshold is. so i keep this on hand so you go down the list there sometimes you get down to maybe the 420s or something like that. it is contingent upon how many people vote there. the other thing to watch for is if they get well over 300 votes for this, does that apply

pressure on the senate? and again the opposition to this kind of strange bed fellows here. certain liberal democrats like robert garcia from california who says it is a first amendment issue. he has teamed with thomas massey the conservative congressman from northern kentucky saying the government shouldn't be in the business of choosing which apps you use or tramping on an app. you have the weird bed fellows but it will pass today. lawmakers have weaponized what tiktok did to them against them. they said they've gotten these flood of telephone calls to their offices mostly from high cool kids and middle school kids saying don't ban tiktok and some kids had to act what is a congressman. it demonstrates the influence that tiktok has over young people and there was a pew research study that said 56% of all americans between the ages of 18 and 34 are on tiktok.

this is where you have had other members being very concerned about going against the will of their constituents. you have 170 million americans who are on tiktok and where bishop from north carolina indicated earlier saying we have to listen to them and adjudicate their fears about this. >> bill: stand by and well oh he see how it goes. >> dana: more with the house judiciary committee chairman jim jordan. could we start with tiktok and where you stand on that? i heard this morning it is likely that chuck schumer might want to take a pass on this and not do it this year. >> we'll see. i'm still undecided and talking to colleagues and friends. i met with someone from the communications commission so look, i'm still -- i see good arguments on both sides. sensitive to the first amendment free expression and everything else. but i'm also nervous about this is a company controlled by the chinese government. so i'm nervous about that.

i will talk to a few more colleagues in the last few minutes before heading to the floor for a final vote. >> bill: we believe it has the votes to go. the question is by how many. so let's say it passes now. there are those who suggest that you could be on a slippery slope and another company could be in the offing depending on the composition of government. how much consideration do you give that possibility? >> very much so particularly in light. this is my one biggest concern i guess is in light of the investigation we've done this entire congress where big government pressures big tech to censor americans, that to me is scary. now you have big government weighing in and saying this company is influenced. i get nervous about that kind of general concept. but i'm also sensitive to the fact that bytedance is tied to the chinese government and what they are doing and we've heard from folks in the intelligence community about the concerns they have with that arraignment.

those are the things trying to balance and trying to do it right. we'll decide in a few minutes. >> dana: all right. let's talk about yesterday. you had the big hearing with robert hur and how do you think it went? what did you get out of it? does it go anywhere from here or does it lose some steam? >> i'll go to the last question first. i do think where it should go is get access to the audio tapes. audio tapes made of all the 147 witnesses they interviewed. mr. hur said the tapes particularly of joe biden were a big influence on his decision to put in his report that joe biden was a forgetful old man and it was part of the main reason why he chose not to bring charges . so we would like access to those tapes. we have asked for those. i asked mr. special counsel hur would he be opposed to the united states congress getting access to that information and he said really that he wouldn't but that's a call for the justice department.

we'll see if they give us that information. the big takeaway was joe biden willfully disclosed security information. he got daily briefings as the vice president of the united states but shared that information and then i tried to get to the motive. why would he do that? i think he did it because special counsel hur pointed this out. his motivations to ignore proper procedures is because he was writing a book. as i asked the special counsel how much did joe biden get for the book? $8 million. i think he had 8 million reasons to break the rules. the rules that he knew, the law that he knew, and he did that i think because of the book deal. >> bill: the vote is underway. going to last 15 minutes. are you a yes or no on tiktok? >> i'll go over talk to my colleagues and decide here. i'm not trying to be koi with you. i want to talk to a couple key people who understand both sides

of the issue and make a decision on the floor. >> dana: congressman ken buck we knew he would retire from colorado. thought it would be at the end of the year. small margins as you know. he is going to have his last day next friday. that means the republicans will have 219, democrats 213. special election next week democrats expected to win that. how does it affect anything going forward the rest of the year for you? >> it is tough and already been tough. the margin, majority is so small. this makes it even more difficult as we are trying to move things the american people legislation the american people want us to move. we'll get through it. we have a retreat starting later this afternoon where we can get together and talk about some of the strategic things we have to do. it is tough. i wish we weren't losing members. frankly i don't know why we got rid of george santos with the special election. he was voting with republicans and voting with conservatives.

not convicted of anything. but we keep making it tougher on ourselves. this won't make it any easier. >> bill: thank you for your time, jim jordan. plenty to talk about next time. come on back. the vote underway. the number to watch is 280. chad tells me, dana, that this requires 2/three vote, not simple majority. the reason for that is they did it as a suspension bill without going to the rules committee. he adds likely would not have gotten through the rules committee. we might not be here had they gone through regular order. this parliamentarian move may work for the house. >> dana: i was asking someone today about is this another example of the house passing legislation in a bipartisan way? you can't get to the result without bipartisanship. now will it go to the senate and sit there as senator schumer doesn't want to ask his members to take a vote? you listen to the bipartisan

members of the china select committee. kat cammack is one of the co-sponsors. clear eyed what the concern is. i know there is concern about our government spying on our own citizens but what they are laying out is the very real possibility that the chinese can spy on the american citizens and that's their concern. they are just saying divest and the app stays. >> bill: smart for tiktok to look for a sale now and maybe they have. 432 current members of the house. so that number at 2/three is 288. chad says the three hold to pass is 280. screen left under the yay column at number 40. >> dana: 15 minute vote. as we've been telling you the house is voting right now on the bill that could ban tiktok.

2/three needed to pass. we pick up the story. >> that's a great point. if this number is in the high 300s as we're hearing and up to 365 yays is a big number and it would be hard for a majority leader chuck schumer to ignore. but so far he hasn't said whether or not he will bring this to the floor or not. he is waiting to see what the house does. we're very well underway on this vote watching the nos come in. i can tell you the early nos include bishop and green, two republicans. massey as well. we knew that would be a no. progressives also swalwell, hyams, a couple of those are coming in. progressives have been really fighting for those tiktok entrepreneurs out there who feel like this is their livelihood. they really make a lot of money, a stream of income through this app and don't want congress to do anything to upset that.

we have also been hearing about lawmakers all across capitol hill getting phone calls from lots of tiktok users including middle school students. i believe there was a story about one student calling lawmakers office and saying they were going to commit suicide if they tried to do anything to this app. it shows you how addicted some of these people are. here is what people across the country have been telling us. i will read it off to you. some of the folks we've been talking to state to state some young people have been basically telling us that they think this is all a conspiracy theory by lawmakers here on the hill that big government or the chinese government is spying on them and stealing information. they really don't see that happening. other people say they do agree with lawmakers that there might be some information that's being taken by the ccp but okay with that. they feel it is happening with their own government. a wide variety of different

opinions but waiting to see how this vote turns out and then it heads into the senate where that fate could be very difficult there. >> dana: thank you so much. we'll stay on top of it as that vote is underway. the f.b.i. director raising red flags about the southern border. dire warnings about terrorists slipping through into the u.s. there is also this. >> finding a more seamless system to help a college athlete is what we're all trying to do here. >> bill: those two twins quickly becoming the face of n.i.l. which stands for name, image and likeness and there are american kids that are making a lot of money off this move in the last two years. so they were on the hill yesterday talking to lawmakers about the future of college sports. will athletes be able to make money outside their school programs? the twins will join us for their

take and what is at stake next. okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.

>> bill: now we have this warning from the f.b.i. terror threats from the southern border reaching a new level. concerns growing over isis-linked smugglers and drug trafficking. from the state department we're picking up the story gaining steam over the past week. >> good morning. perhaps the most alarming reality check that we got from the intelligence chiefs as they've been testifying over the last two days is the real concern that the number of would be or attempted known terrorists trying to cross the southern border in the last few years has significantly increased. take a listen. >> have individuals on the known

terrorist list suspected terrorist list or no-fly list presented themselves at u.s. airports once entering the united states attempting to fly? >> i believe the answer to that is yes. >> the bigger threat picture when it comes to terrorism is, in fact, bleaker. take a listen to this. >> the terrorist threat level that we're contending with right now is at a whole other level from an already heightened terrorist threat level we were seeing even before october 7th. you've seen a rogue gallery of foreign terrorist organizations calling for terrorist attacks against us in a way that we haven't seen in a long, long time. >> terrorism is hardly the only national security threat that's being trafficked illegally across the southern border. >> the threat from illicit drugs remains at historic levels with mexican trans national criminal organizations supplying and

moving large amounts of opioids such as fentanyl in the unities. 100,000 americans have dried from overdoses. most are due to fentanyl. >> on monday the intelligence chiefs revealed they are tracking intelligence that is raising alarms that isis is now trying to develop relationships and inroads among human smuggling rings along the southern border. >> bill: gillian turner live at the state department and see how it goes. >> dana: in a little bit former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe joins us to talk about more about the rising terror threats. >> bill: now to this story on name, image and likeness known as n.i.l. big time deals for college athletes in america now in "focus" on the hill. nick saban just retired and the twins sharing their views looking for a better resolution.

the wild west rules of n.i.l. and college athletics. >> all the things that i believed in for all these years, 50 years of coaching, no longer exist in college athletics. >> i think it is the limit for female agent lets when it comes to discussing image and likeness and prime examples of what it can do. >> bill: the twins are with me now. hannah and haley. you played together at fresno state in miami. you are back in the state of texas. look at how much money athletes have made since the rules changed, all right? college athletes made about $917 million collectively from n.i.l. payments in the first year. that number will go higher. hannah, what was your message when some lawmakers are trying to even the playing field for all athletes in every state? what is your best idea? >> it was saw some being there

and hearing everybody perspectives on it. i think for college athletes we're just trying to monetize and make as much money as we can to be successful in the future. it looks different for each college athlete. everybody's different takes and create a different and seamless system for college athletics. >> bill: do you think this has gotten out of zmrol that went in a direction a lot of people didn't expect? >> in my opinion i am a firm believer there shouldn't be any limitations on student athletes. i think you should be able to capitalize when you are in college. name, image and likeness like we did. >> bill: there is a catch in all this, though. the big athletes at the big schools, haley, they are really cashing in. do you see a way where that can be regulated better? >> i think that there is a better system to go by. i think everyone is trying to

figure it out. i heard at the round table yesterday i believe everyone for the student athletes and finding a better system and way to manage it across. >> bill: the two of you came into this system. you have been living and growing by it. hannah, what do you think about what nick saban said. i've been in the game forever and today it is not about raising young men and women, it is about the money. >> right. i think that obviously coach saban has a great outlook on it. obviously it was a power five school and football. i think for female athletes there is a way that we can monetize and make a future success within the image and likeness. not always opportunities going pro. for haley and i there was a benefit to grow a business and brand. >> bill: i didn't think it was right when young athletes choose a school based on a coach and

the coach could leave at any time. and now the athletes can do the same thing. it is really a changing system. i don't know how they will resolve it. ted cruz is leading the way in the senate. now on tiktok you have become very famous because of it. haley, what do you think the best resolution? should we ban tiktok from america? >> i just had a meeting, our journey began on tiktok and built a powerful brand and business for us. tiktok has paveed our way and has a domino effect in all of social media platforms. i am just looking for the benefit of all influencers and athletes within the app. >> bill: so hannah, do we force it off the phone with (17) 000-0000 americans using it? what do you think? >> i think we were -- tiktok was

powerful for us. we were able to promote it through the app. having a domino effect from that is what we try to do and carry on. like i said that's where it all started for us. >> bill: do you think -- when you think about in terms of national security threats, how much consideration do you give that? >> right, i think everybody wants to be safe and that's the motive here. like i said, i think that with college athletes with entrepreneurs, everybody obviously can benefit from tiktok. safety is very, very important. >> bill: i don't know what they'll do but we're watching it closely. thank you for your time today. pleasure meeting you. good luck in your careers, ladies, thank you. >> thank you so much. >> bill: you bet. >> dana: breaking just now judge scott mcafee is squashing six counts in former president trump's georgia election case. this just coming across as he has got -- the judge has a lot

on his plate and no doubt this is something the trump team is happy about. we're learning about it so we'll get more details and bring it to you. six counts quashed in the georgia trump election case so far. our top story this morning is time up for tiktok? the how is weighing whether to ban the social media app if it doesn't divest from its chinese parent company. we watch that vote roll in as we speak. we'll be right back. lord, you know what's on our hearts. you know where we struggle. you know where we need to be pushed. help us give it all to you. the good, the bad. help us turn to you in everything we do. amen. i invite you to join me in more prayer on hallow. stay prayed up voices of people with cidp: cidp disrupts. cidp derails. let's be honest...

soon. chad, good morning again. >> good morning again. as you say they are getting toward wrapping up this vote right now. well above that 2/three threshold that was 288. we'll see what the final total is here. they're well up into the 330s in terms of yes votes. one thing i would note is that there are more democratic nos here than republican nos. only a few. one of the things we were looking for going into the vote whether or not some of the concern by former president trump might push down the support for this bill in the house of representatives although this is a wide bipartisan vote. also direct you to the one present vote on the scoreboard right now. jasmine crockett who is a freshman democrat from texas voting present. that doesn't count toward the vote total here in the yay or nay column. again, there were members who were very undecided about how to vote on this bill. this vote has been open for a while and there is still more

than 30 people who haven't cast ballots. jim jordan republican from ohio was on the air with you a half hour ago and still wanted to talk to some of his colleagues before he cast his ballot. as you say, this will go to the senate. chuck schumer yesterday said he wants to talk to some of his committee chairs before he commits to putting anything on the floor. there is another piece of legislation that mark warner, the chairman of the intelligence committee democrat from virginia has put together which some senators are more interested in so they might have a companion bill there and have to resolve this in a conference committee where they put it in the congressional blender and work out the differences. this isn't going anywhere near as fast in the united states senate. >> bill: chad pergram watching it from the hill. >> dana: this just in. judge scott mcafee dismissed six counts in the election interference case in georgia including three involving former u.s. president trump. joining us now is former

director of national intelligence john ratcliffe. you are a lawyer and have had a few minutes to digest this a little bit to help us understand what does this mean? >> good to be with you, dana. i haven't had a chance to look in detail. this is akin to if federal court a motion for more definite statement called a special demure in the state of georgia. various defendants saying you have accused us of violating the law, specifically violating our oath but haven't told us how our conduct matches up with something we should be held criminally responsible for and the judge agreed. you didn't provide enough specificity how you pled in and dismissed the counts. it is not a dismissal of the entire case. i think if anything my first take is it really sort of lends itself to the argument that the special prosecutor wade in this case is inexperienced in these

types of cases and didn't plead it properly and as a result these counts are being dismissed. it is a victory of sorts certainly for former president trump and all of the defendants that are affected by the ruling but the case will continue in part. >> dana: we await the same judge's decision about fani willis and her staying on the case. does this decision today, what he has put forward, give you any sort of clue as to what he is thinking on that point? >> i think it doesn't hurt the notion that both fani willis and her boyfriend special prosecutor wade, you know, have acted inappropriately here. some of the things that have been alleged are proving to be true. an inexperienced prosecutor in these cases is a reflection of what the judge just ruled on. i think this is an easy call in terms of disqualification of at

least her and mr. wade from this case, if not an entire dismissal of the case. >> dana: we also just heard from chad pergram where the house of representatives where you used to be has voted overwhelmingly, 332 was the last count we had before you came to air with you and that is a pretty bipartisan effort in the house of representatives saying that the united states congress wants china to just divest from tiktok by figuring out a way to do that sale and tiktok can continue. do you think that the threat is worth going through all of this, the national security threat about china having control over this app? >> well, i do 100%. full disclosure, dana, i was the dni that did the national security threat assessment on tiktok for the committee on foreign investment in the u.s. back in the summer of 2020. it was my recommendation that was the basis of president trump's executive order at that

time based on our assessment that number one, that the parent company of tiktok bytedance was controlled by the ccp and two, that the algorithms used and information collected did pose a significant national security threat. president biden rescinded that order, as you know, after there was a legal challenge to it. but i completely supported congressman gallagher's bill here. i do think that tiktok has proven over the last few years it is even more of a national security threat than we assessed in 2020. i think it is a very good development. i certainly hope the resounding bipartisan margins here will spur senator schumer to allow a vote on this over in the senate. this would be good for our national security posture. >> dana: as you were talking a little birdie told me the bill has officially passed now over to the senate and well oh he see what they do. john ratcliffe.

>> dana: fox news alert now with the judge in georgia quashing

six counts in the georgia election case. john ratcliffe explain what he thought it meant. jonathan serrie has an update for us. >> hi there. these six counts that were killed were against former president trump and five of his associates including rudy giuliani and others, all the squashed carts have to do with charges related to solicitation of violation of oath of office. the judge writes as written these six counts contain all the essential elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission. the judge goes on to write they do not give the defendants enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently as the defendants could have violated the constitution and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds of distinct ways. we should point out this ruling is separate from another high-profile decision expected

from the same judge this week. that is considering a motion by the defense to disqualify d.a. fani willis because of her romantic relationship with nathan wade, one of the special prosecutors she hired in the case. that decision is expected by the end of this week. a source involved in the case says it is like christmas. you don't know if you are going to get a present or coal. dana. >> dana: you don't. that's my favorite story. thank you, jonathan. >> bill: jonathan turley professor is on the phone. what do you make of this based on what we know? >> well, bill, this is a very significant ruling in one respect and that is the six counts include counts related to the january 2, 2021, call that trump had with georgia officials. and that call has produced a great deal of debate among many of us as to what the president meant and whether it is a viable

basis for a criminal charge. what the court is saying is that in putting together this indictment, you went ahead and stated the crimes but you really didn't explain in detail how trump committed those crimes or these other defendants. and the court is saying when you -- in doing that you didn't give them notice for them to put on a defense. he is absolutely right in that respect. it with as one of the objections many of us have made to the indictment is that it is very loosely held together. i think it was a poorly crafted indictment. it doesn't mean that they can't come back and try to revive those counts. but that is going to cause a delay. if they have to come back with a superseding indictment, it is vi likely it would push this beyond the election. what's also interesting about the judge's decision, he said i'm not saying you can't use the underlying conduct to prove

racketeering, which would include that call. so you can cite to it as conduct but you don't have enough here to say that this specific crime was committed by that conduct. so he is already saying the call can be part of the trial. what does it leave us with? the possibility of a delay if they want to go for a superseding indictment but also raises and magnifies previous question about the basis for this racketeering claim. this is a really thin suit for racketeering claim and it just got thinner. >> bill: thank you. a quick strike reaction from you. thank you, sir, for coming on. martha maccallum joins us host of "the story" 3:00 eastern time. in addition to all this, the stage is now set, right? trump and biden clinched last night. want you ladies to know we have been working on that board to take us all the way through june

to try to figure out what the rules are for each of the states and we don't need it. it's over. >> you throw those pages out. >> dana: we appreciate that. >> bill: whether america gets what it wants or not this is what it is. rfk is still trying to make a run as a third party candidate. >> 18% interested in someone else. so obviously that is ground he will want to saturate and try to make grow. whether or not he can do that with the vice presidential names that he floated yesterday remains to be seen including aaron rodgers. this is the race that we've been looking at for quite some time, i think. i think there is an impulse in america to have these two people run against each other even though all of the numbers have shown that people wanted other alternatives when it came to the primary process and rely on people how small the handfuls are who vote in each of these

states. if they wanted a different outcome, a broader vote base would have made a difference. this is the way we do things in america. small number of individuals vote if primaries and decide who the candidate will be. thats where we are right now. >> dana: it is interesting. so many people who along the way would say surely the republicans would never do that again, right? >> that's right. >> dana: still people who say definitely biden is going to be switched out at the convention. we'll probably continue to hear that. but i think america, this is your choice. >> it appears that way right now, dana. i'm always wary to say that anything is set in stone. we've all watched from the front row how politics can change on a dime. these are both older individuals. there is the opportunity, the possibility that something changes the scene. i wouldn't be shocked if something does change this dynamic. but right now this is exact will i where we are. >> bill: we get what we get here and we'll move from there.

>> it is news story not a family portrait. here is the christmas picture. no one cares. the only glimpse anyone has had of her and no information on the kind of surgery or when she'll be back wanted to put this out as a news statement from the royal family's perspective. everything is fine. then that is what prompted the scrutiny of this photo. in this moment it is a news story. >> bill: thank you, see you at 3:00. >> dana: more breaks on kate middleton i know where to go. boeing in major damage control mode again as we get new details what caused the company's latest midair scare. >> i was in the military in boeing airplanes saved my tail many times in combat. the enemy was outside the airplane. now it feels like the enemy is within.
